I have a little more than 1,000 hrs in the baby bus and according to the 3. FCOM Procedures and FCTM there is no difference about the flare and power off technique for tail wind landings.

As other pilots recomend, you should pay more attention on the ROD and the point where you are going to hit the pavement.
Cutting the thrust earlier without checking the ROD and IAS could lead to a hard landing and/or tail strike.

For airline policy, we have to use Thrust Reverser with tail wind except for some specific long runways with less than 10 kts tail wind.
And Thrust Reverser means to use AUTOBRAKE in MED.
